Heh. Having studied English, Spanish, Russian, Latin, and German, and having lightly perused a Greek language textbook, my opinion is: you can learn the Greek alphabet ( and you should. If you can read cyrillic, you're half way there.) but NEVER regret not learning the (classical) Greek language. Had I tried it, my brain would probably have melted. My "classical" education falters at that point.
No flames please; this is just MHO. ::grin, duck, run::
